The reason why I was so excited about this trip as this is the first overseas trip not with my family (excluding the china exchange program huh) but with friends, LG and guo wei (: alot of people may say it's a rather weird combinations but I think not so bad eh. 3 of us have been going out very often and even when 3 of us shared a room, it's still okay (:
REALLY A BIG THANK YOU to the 2 guys. they planned this trip. I didnt do any research at all as I was preparing for my exams. I think the most cool part is that, we only took less than 5 times of taxi. We took public transport throughout, even for their buses and really save lots of money.
We went 3 places, 九份, 高雄 and 台北.
Stayed at the homestay at 九份. they are called 九份小町民宿. IT'S FREAKING AWESOME, better than hotels! It's japanese theme as the couple is japanese. The room is just so cosy and they will prepare japanese breakfast for us. We chose the more expensive room so that the scenaric views will be better.
We went to walk at 九份老街 for the first day and seriously, it's boring. haha! nothing much, everything are too commercialized. The next day we chose to go by their 1 day tour as it's really inaccessible there. The places we went (I cant remember their names) are so so so damn beautiful! we went to 泡温泉 also! but it's really awkward to be naked in front of everybody and I will be alone so we chose those room kind instead of the public ones. We still secretly wore our bikinis even though it's not allowed. We went prepared. heh heh! Totally can't get used to it and 3 of us felt giddy after 15mins. HAHA, lousy much.
九份 is a place to relax. the rooms are beautiful, scenary is awesome and the people are friendly too! (:

While we are waiting to sit the bullet train to 高雄, a girl came and asked me where I am from. I told her Singapore and her first question is, "Singaporeans know 8 to 9 languages right?" I totally stunt and I replied, if you include those dialects then maybe yes. she assumed all of us know malay and canto. crazy much. In my mind I was thinking who the hell went to lie to a small girl. HAHA!
We went to lots 夜市 in 高雄 and 台北 and I can't remember the names also. But I love the food! actually only a few. The quill eggs, fresh milk with winter melon tea and bbq corn. TOTALLY AWESOME! 3 of us spent all our money during the last 2 days and the guys resort to withdrawing money from ATM and using cards to pay as it's a freaking weekends. BUT the bank exchange rate is better than we went changed our money eh :(
Another bimbo came and asked me "is singapore government very poor? why must they keep taxing and fining you all" -.-
Well, I still find taiwan people very nice. they are courteous and helpful. Lots of them came to help when we looked lost and I like the way they take their MRT; Giving up seats and queuing up while waiting for train.
I MISS THE MILK TEA WITH PUDDING, QUILL EGGS, CORNS, BENTO, FRESH MILK WITH WINTER MELON TEA AND THEIR SEVEN ELEVEN (ours like shit)! but definitely NOT their fastfoods, no chilli sauce and super salty!
